The kids are all "fine, and have been released" Yale-New Haven Hospital told the Daily News.

The unidentified 15-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with five counts of risk of injury to a minor, NBC reported.

This is the second time this month that Connecticut high schools were in the spotlight for tainted desserts. Four former students from The Gilbert School were charged last week with serving others on their campus with cupcakes contaminated with bodily fluids.

Each of the teens — now college students — faces charges of conspiracy to commit sexual assault in the fourth degree, sexual assault in the fourth degree and breach of peace in the second degree for their alleged crime committed during the 2016-17 school year.
